#3Seriously, that dude has his hands in so much cool stuff.
I'd like to posit that Avi Bryant is actually twins posing as one person. Neither of whom ever sleeps.

Busted. The hardest thing is always trimming our beards to exactly the same length.
Edit: the real answer is that I work with great hackers who aren't as mouthy as I am and so don't show up in interviews etc - my "twins" are Andrew, Ben, and Luke...

On the subject of compiling other languages to JavaScript, you might be interested in frp-js. It's a Functional Reactive DSL in Haskell that compiles to JavaScript.

dude aweeeessssooooommmee. i'm definitely going to check this out later. i had seen the YHC/JS backend a while back but it looked like progress there had seized up. this seems pretty new. any experience with it?

I haven't done too much with it yet, to be honest — things have been a bit crazy at work — but FRP seems like a really interesting potential approach to JS-based web interfaces, and I can understand the desire to write Haskell and then compile it to JS (the assembly of the web, as plenty of people in the last three years have said). FRP JavaScript doesn't seem to have taken off in a big way in the three years since Flapjax came out, but perhaps we'll see that change soon.

#9Avi, who's from Vancouver, seems to have very similar accent and body language to the people I know from Toronto; (I lived there for a year). I find this interesting.

I find that interesting too - in general, I find the Vancouver accent to be closer to other places on the west coast (Seattle, Portland, SF) than to the eastern Canadian accents. But there are no doubt also elements that correlate with country instead of coast, and you must be picking up on those.
I also speak faster and am more animated in interviews than I would be in most other situations, which probably pushes me farther towards the east coast stereotypes than I am in "real life"...
